Sweeper-KeeperSmall Sample
A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed and dominant in aerial duels (100% success). Note: this profile is based on 720 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Alex Meret by playing style are:
- Ivan Provedel(89% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and reliable in goal (3.7 saves/90).
- Jean Butez(88% match) — Butez has carved out a quietly elite identity in Serie A as a goalkeeper who builds play with the conviction of a midfielder and dominates his aerial zone with uncommon authority. His 84.9% pass accuracy and 36.5 passes per 90 both land in the top 10% of Serie A keepers, meaning he isn't just tidy in possession—he's genuinely driving his team's build-up from the back. The aerial win rate sitting in the top 5% is the counterintuitive headline: raw numbers suggest an average volume of aerial duels won, but his 50% success rate against elite Serie A attackers tells a different story about physical dominance under pressure.
- Emil Audero(88% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and reliable in goal (3.5 saves/90).
